⚠️On 1/20, the 1st #COVID19 case was confirmed in the US and #SouthKorea.

2 days later, Trump bragged: “We have it totally under control. It’s 1 person coming from #China. It’s going to be just fine.”

Korea launched a #coronavirus test within 1 week.💥
theguardian.com/us-news/2020/m…
Trump's TOTAL failure to quickly deploy #COVID19 testing allowed the #coronavirus to spread UNDETECTED thru our communities.

Now, the US has the *most* confirmed cases in the world, whereas #SouthKorea has mostly contained the deadly virus.

The deadly #coronavirus is not the fault of any federal official. But the Trump Administration's LACK of response, including a failure to quickly ramp up #COVID19 testing, produce much-needed ventilators and #PPEs, and prepare hospitals, will COST LIVES.🤬

⚠️#COVID19 deaths in #NYC continue to skyrocket faster than *anywhere* else globally.

#Coronavirus deaths also surging in #Michigan, NJ, and #Louisiana.

#CA and #FL are earlier in their outbreaks, so time and TESTING will tell.

The next 4-6 weeks will be hell.

📸@jburnmurdoch
Daily #COVID19 death tolls in the US and UK are *accelerating* in a straight line on a log-scale chart👉🏼deaths are still increasing EXPONENTIALLY.

All other countries had begun slowing the rate of increase in deaths by now.

The US *still* has NOT locked down nationwide.🤬
Daily #COVID19 death tolls are finally flattening in #Italy and #Spain: each new day has FEWER deaths.

In the US (not locked down), the #coronavirus death toll is ACCELERATING: each new day has MORE dead than the last, and the rate of increase is RISING.

⚠️#COVID19 death toll in #NYC continues to outpace any other global region, albeit #China did NOT report accurately.

Some glimmer of good news, as the rate of rise appears to be FLATTENING in #NYC.

#Michigan not looking good, and #Florida is BARELY testing.

#coronavirus
Overall US death toll is doubling ~every 3 days, BUT I caution that most states are NOT adequately testing *still*.

Fever data strongly suggest that our lockdowns ARE working, but cases/hospitalizations/deaths lag. Incubation period + time to get sick enough for hospital or ICU.
Another glimmer of hope: even as #coronavirus testing ramps UP, the #COVID19 case trajectory is starting to flatten.

Although we still have at least 4-6 weeks of hell to endure, the data show that our sacrifices ARE WORKING.

Please #StayHome to SAVE LIVES. I’m with you in this!

⚠️@MIT's Dr. Lydia Bourouiba warns: “pathogen-bearing droplets of ALL sizes can travel 23-27 feet.”

She also warns: “droplets that settle along the trajectory can contaminate surfaces”—and “residues or droplet nuclei” may “stay suspended in the air for HOURS.”😳

#COVID19 #masks
Bourouiba fears @WHO's current guidelines are “overly simplified” and “may limit the effectiveness of the proposed interventions” against #coronavirus.

“There’s an urgency in revising the guidelines currently being given by the [WHO] and the [@CDCgov].

nypost.com/2020/03/31/cor…
"The rapid international spread of #COVID19 suggests (current assumptions) may not accurately reflect what actually occurs w/respiratory emissions, possibly contributing to the ineffectiveness of some procedures used to limit the spread" of #coronavirus.

1/ "After a lifetime devoted to avoiding responsibility and accountability -- for his lies, his deceptions, his hype, and his cruelty -- President Donald Trump has met his match in the pandemic of 2020. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/03/30…
2/ His bluff and bluster are powerless as thousands of Americans die and the blame falls, in part, on his failure to heed the warnings and execute a robust national response. This occurred even though. . .
2/ . . . a pandemic playbook had been left behind by the Obama administration. Early in the crisis, Trump said "We have it totally under control. It's one person coming from China. It's going to be just fine."

🚨The missing six weeks: how Trump failed the biggest test of his life | US news | The Guardian theguardian.com/us-news/2020/m…
Responses by US & S. Korea have been opposites. 1 acted swiftly to detect & isolate the virus, & has largely contained crisis. The other dithered & procrastinated, mired in chaos & confusion, distracted by whims of its leader, & is confronted by emergency of daunting proportions.
Within a week of 1st confirmed case, S. Korea’s summoned 20 companies to a war-planning summit & told them to develop a test for virus at lightning speed. A week later, 1st diagnostic test was approved, identifying infected individuals to be quarantined to halt advance of disease

The missing six weeks: how Trump failed the biggest test of his life theguardian.com/us-news/2020/m…
When the definitive history of the coronavirus pandemic is written, the date 20 January 2020 is certain to feature prominently.
It was on that day that a 35-year-old man in Washington state, recently returned from visiting family in Wuhan in China, became the first person in the US to be diagnosed with the virus.
